Suspect Arrested in Gay Activist Murder

A Ugandan police spokesman stated they have arrested a suspect
in the killing of gay activist David Kato who was bludgeoned to
death last week. Vincent Sekatte said late Wednesday that the
suspect made a confession before a magistrate. Sekatte said
police will charge the man with murder “soon”. Of course the
police insist David Kato's killing had nothing to do with his
sexual orientation. Police investigator Ronald Gata said the
suspect is an ex-convict whom Kato employed 3 days before
his death. Kato's killing comes after a year of increased threats
against gays in Uganda, where an appalling anti-gay bill
proposes the death penalty for homosexual acts.

Snow Bound Groundhog Day

In the midst of this monster snow storm the big question is
will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow? If he does we'll have
6 more weeks of winter. If the little critter doesn't see his
shadow winter will end soon. With this brutal winter bearing
down on us I think he will not see his shadow but winter will
continue its wrath. Just In: Punxsutawney Phil did not see his
shadow, a harbinger of early spring….:)

Obama & Gay Civil Rights in 2011

The State of The Union Missed the Target for Gay Marriage....
The big question for our LGBT community is will Obama address
gay civil rights in The State of the Union speech tonight?
Passing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” was definitely the game-changer
but until we get rid of the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA) &
pass the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) our LGBT
community remains as second-class citizens in this country. Here
in Massachusetts we have gay marriage but are denied over 1100
federal rights & protections including the ability to file joint tax
returns, take advantage of estate tax breaks & receive spousal
benefits offered by Social Security, such as survivor compensation
for legally married gay couples. The Gay & Lesbian Advocates &
Defenders (GLAD) challenged Section 3 of DOMA which addresses
these rights & it was found unconstitutional in federal court by
Judge Tauro. Unfortunately the Obama Administration is
appealing this decision.

At the State of the Union Address Obama will be introducing
Daniel Hernandez Jr., the openly gay intern credited with saving
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s life. This would be a perfect opportunity
for the President to declare that Mr. Hernandez & all lesbian, gay,
bisexual & transgender Americans should have the same rights &
federal protections as heterosexual citizens. Watch & see if Obama
takes advantage of this moment during The State of the Union
Address on Tuesday January 25 @ 9pm EST. Updates to Come..:)
